The human brain starts to age from 30 years old; after 40 years old, human metabolism gradually slows down, brain cell function decreases, physical strength, memory, reaction power decreases, positioning ability, body coordination is not as good as before; after 60 years old, the brain shrinks at a rate of 15% per year. “Brain Exercise” decomposition demonstration The first section: the five fingers of both hands in turn corresponding knock. The second section: both hands index finger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky finger in turn tapping the thumb of the hand. Section 3: The five fingers of both hands are crossed in a fist. Section 4: The five fingers of both hands are extended and then retracted in turn. Fingers have many nerve connections to the brain, finger exercises can fully stimulate these nerves, help enhance brain function, prevent or inhibit the development of cognitive disorders. Researchers have tested the brains of healthy men doing finger exercises and found that the blood flow to the prefrontal cortex (which controls memory, learning and other brain functions) was higher than usual. Finger exercises are low intensity and have low requirements for the venue, so it is recommended that you take the time to practice more. Always do 8 things to slow down the aging brain 1, read a book a week rich life, more brain people, slow brain aging, reading and thinking about the stimulation of the brain will promote rich synapses, slowing down the aging process. People who read a lot have a high cognitive reserve, the brain can play a buffer role in aging, slowing down the aging rate, making the brain more resistant to diseases such as dementia. 2, twice a week 30 minutes of exercise twice a week, each time 30 minutes of tai chi, brisk walking or other outdoor activities, not only beneficial to the brain blood circulation, but also on cholesterol control, blood pressure regulation has a positive impact. The earlier you exercise for brain health, the better, and it’s never too late to start at any age. A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that a week of guaranteed 45 minutes of continuous exercise can improve the brain power of people in their fifties. 3, eat more antioxidant food to delay brain aging can be more intake of flavonoids or carotenoid-rich antioxidant, anti-aging food, such as drinking more tea in moderation, eat more fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc., can effectively delay brain aging. Many elderly people do not eat meat and egg yolk in order to prevent and control diseases, which is not right, meat contains cholesterol, which is conducive to the formation of nerve cell myelin; egg yolk has a lot of choline, which is conducive to replenish the nutrition required by the brain. 4, get enough sleep Many people stay up late and find that the next day’s mental and physical strength has decreased. The saying “get enough sleep for 7 hours” does not necessarily apply to all people, generally adolescents get enough sleep for 7 to 9 hours, pregnant women ensure 8 to 9 hours, children sleep 10 to 12 hours a day. Sleep time can be determined according to your specific situation, as long as you wake up with a feeling of relief and physical comfort, it is effective sleep. 5, put the clock upside down When people see the normal placement of items, the left brain will quickly identify, and divert attention. If the object is placed upside down, the right brain is immediately “activated” and tries to identify the puzzling visual information by analyzing the shape, color, and environment of the object. This practice artificially increases the brain’s thinking activity and has the effect of exercising brain power. In life, many items can try to put upside down, such as clocks, photos in frames, calendars, etc.. 6, change the seat at dinner Many people are used to sitting on a fixed seat for dinner. However, it is recommended that it is best to change the seat at mealtime on a regular basis so as to enhance brain vitality. Regularly changing the room where your family lives, adjusting the placement of furniture or the layout of office equipment, taking a new route when walking the dog, changing the TV station or website when browsing the news, learning more about new and exciting products when shopping at the supermarket, etc., also have the same effect. New things are more stimulating to the brain, which helps focus attention and relieve brain fatigue. 7, touch coins Research has found that by touching to identify the existence of subtle differences in things that can better stimulate brain vitality. You can put different denominations of coins in a large jar, from time to time, the hand into the jar, using the sense of touch to determine the coin denomination, but also can mentally calculate the total amount of coins, the effect of exercise brain power. It should be reminded that there may be a lot of bacteria on the coin, after touching to wash your hands in time. 8, maintain an optimistic state of mind A happy mood will affect the body’s hormone levels, metabolic levels become higher, the brain blood supply, oxygen supply sufficient. We sometimes need to develop reverse thinking, optimistic about things. For example, if you fall, do not think about how unlucky you are, but think about just a fall, and did not lose precious life.
